I've been living in hotels, many hotel zooms, including interviews, it's fine. Just prepare.
Set yourself up with good lighting. Move furniture around as needed. Do NOT let the bed show behind you. Move the pillows to the floor if they are popping up in your view. Blur your background. Choose the enhanced hotel wifi. And have your mobile phone ready as a backup hotspot for your laptop, in case the hotel wifi craps out.
Briefly and succinctly warn your interviewer - "apologies, I'm in transit, please forgive the wifi if it disconnects, I'll rejoin immediately."
Done.
I’ve done mine in an Airbnb, on mobile data. Not great but totally doable. Put some thought in advance in terms of set up and you’ll do fine. I think everyone gets it nowadays.
If you’re in this situation, you probably could save some money and just ask the recruiters to get you to do the interview from the office virtually :)
Fair enough ! Other than the money (which is not a trivial thing, don’t get me wrong) , is this a bad idea / have you seen it been done ?
